Description
The bright aquamarine windows in the backdrop of white, the glazed ceramics on the main entrance facade, the patterned black grills on the door, are some of the reasons why I just absolutely love this building and Art Deco architecture! Described as, "a sort of Art Deco Wentworth Woodhouse - with whizzing window curves derived from Erich Mendelsohn's work in Germany, and splashes of primary colour from the Aztec and Mayan fashions at the 1925 Paris Exhibition. " In 1931 Ohio-based vacuum cleaner makers the Hoover Company commissioned Wallis, Gilbert and Partners to create a factory on the Western Avenue in Perivale. The Art Deco building was constructed using “Snowcreate” which is a white concrete that always will stay looking like new even after the harshest of British weathers and is decorated with bright coloured faience (glazed ceramic inspired by ancient Egypt). At night the building is illuminated with fluorescent green light - which makes the building visible to airlne passenger arrivals to nearby Heathrow airport. * Print sold unframed
Our Stylist Says
This poster of The Hoover Building is a fantastic choice for adding a touch of vintage London charm to a variety of interiors. It works particularly well in modern or industrial spaces, where its bold colours and graphic style can really stand out, but it also adds character to eclectic or retro-themed rooms. When styling, consider pairing it with minimalist frames and positioning it above a neutral sofa or a sideboard to let the artwork be the focal point. For a more curated look, lot it with other London-themed prints or architectural pieces, ensuring it’s hung at eye level for maximum visual impact. Its size makes it versatile enough to work in both small and larger rooms, injecting a pop of colour and a hint of London's architectural history.
